drbd: fix access of unallocated pages and kernel panic
BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at (null)

[<
d1e236f8>] ? receive_bitmap+0x4f8/0xbc0 [drbd]
This fixes an off-by-one error in the receive_bitmap() path,
if run-length encoded bitmap transfer is enabled.
If the bitmap is an exact multiple of PAGE_SIZE, which means the visible
capacity of the drbd device is an exact multiple of 128 MiB (for 4k page
size), and bitmap compression (use-rle) is enabled (which became default
with 8.4), and the very last bit is dirty and reported in an rle
comressed bitmap packet, we ended up trying to kmap_atomic a page pointer
that does not exist (bitmap->bm_pages[last index + 1]).

drbd: get rid of unused debug code
Long time ago, we had paranoia code in the bitmap that allocated one
extra word, assigned a magic value, and checked on every occasion that
the magic value was still unchanged.
That debug code is unused, the extra long word complicates code a bit.
Get rid of it.
No-one triggered this bug in the last few years, because a large subset
of our userbase is unaffected:
* typically the last few blocks of a device are not modified
frequently, and remain unset
* use-rle was disabled by default in drbd < 8.4
* those with slightly "odd" device sizes, or
* drbd internal meta data (which will skew the device size slightly,
thus makes it harder to have a bug relevant device size)
